ESPN's 30-for-30 documentary series has a "Shorts" episode on the Milwaukee Bucks' Mecca "M" floor of the 1970s and '80s. I didn't know of the episode until tonight, when it re-aired. The original air date, I've learned, was July 1, 2014. One thing I learned from the video is that the floor was covered entirely in paint, with no natural wood showing; there were yellowish areas that looked like wood, though. The video, which runs 13:54 in duration, can be viewed here.
